Sincerely, I struggled not to respond because I’ve respected you from a distance. But your post reeks of a painful disconnect from the reality of ordinary Nigerians. I’m almost 50, with a master’s degree, certifications and years of experience, yet I struggle to find stable work, pay bills and raise ₦1 million for accommodation after receiving a quit notice. Petrol has risen from ₦257 to ₦1,500, rent from ₦300,000 to ₦1 million, and three square meals have become a struggle. How much more suffering must Nigerians endure before their anger makes sense to you? They say the one who has never tasted bitter leaf will swear it's juice is sweet. You say we shouldn’t reject Tinubu without knowing whether the alternative is a saint. Fair enough, but "must a man keep drinking poison because he cannot guarantee the purity of water elsewhere?" Would you tell a woman to endure repeated stabbings from her husband simply because she cannot vouch for the next man? Living abroad may give you perspective, but it cannot replicate the daily suffocation of living here. You can sympathise with the man carrying a burden but you cannot dictate its weight when you’re not carrying it. The proverb is plain: he who has never carried the load does not know the weight of the rope. "Not every angry Nigerian is blind; some are simply tired of being suffocated and then lectured on how to breathe." Before you preach to us about whom not to hate, try understanding what has given our anger a home. Thank you
